#123419 - 5k trimmer is not well suited
Responding to: ???'s previous message

He used a 5k multi turn for ADC analog input, and 0.1uF,1uF multilayer and 10uF tantal for these inputs.

You mean caps from inputs to ground? Which ground? Hopefully analog ground?

By the way, due to the internal input resistances (see figure 3 of below datasheet) a 5k trimmer isn't well suited to apply an "identical" potential to all inputs: When the input resistances differ from channel to channel, then this also results in different voltage dividings with the 5k trimmer. Have a look at figure 4 of datasheet to see how the inputs have to be driven:

Take care, such a fast ADC, showing a very short aquisition time, needs a very fast and very precise Opamp at its inputs!! The OPamp must settle to less than 0.02% within the aquisition time, which is 300nsec (!) for the AD7862, otherwise the 12bit precision is eroded!
